depending on the surrounding light conditions. Normal is recommended when the GPS

 

Chart Plotter is not exposed to the direct sunlight. When this mode is set the maps are

 

displayed in order to use colors as similar as possible to ones used in the original paper

 

charts. Classic uses vivid chart colors presentation. NOAA allows setting NOAA paper

 

chart colors presentation. Night is recommended when the environment is dark in order

 

to reduce the glare of the display. The GPS Chart Plotter displays maps and screen in

 

darker colors. Sunlight (default) is designed to enhance the visibility of the screen when

 

the GPS Chart Plotter is exposed to sunlight. The maps are much brighter than in the other

 

modes and the depth areas are filled with the white color so different depth areas are not

 

easily distinguishable.
